KEF R6 Meta center speaker / LCR speaker

“Best Product Loudspeaker Series” – EISA Awards 2023-2024

The technology developed for KEF’s high-end loudspeakers, including the latest generation of Uni-Q elements and their metamaterial technology (MAT) is now available in the new R series. The seven-model speaker series includes three floor models, one stand speaker, two center speakers and Dolby Atmos rear speakers, making it suitable for both home theater and hi-fi enthusiasts. Be it music or movies. The KEF R series speakers reproduce music and movies dynamically, in detail and yet naturally, combining the deep low frequencies with an open and spacious treble reproduction.

KEF R6 Meta center speaker

The KEF R series has been updated!

The KEF R6 Meta speaker has two 165 mm bass drivers placed around the Uni-Q driver. In addition to the center speaker, the R6 Meta also works perfectly in the LCR (Left-Centre-Right) setup.

Normally, the horizontally placed elements of the center speakers cause limited horizontal dispersion (ie the sound is only heard well in a certain place). Uni-Q technology avoids this and the horizontal dispersion is significantly better than other similar configurations.

The R6 Meta speakers use a revolutionary meta material that absorbs 99% of unwanted sounds behind the treble element. The material and maze-like structure eliminates the resulting distortion and produces a cleaner, more natural sound.

The speakers use the 12th generation Uni-Q element. The new element combined with the metamaterial produces a cleaner sound with less distortion and coloration, which is more transparent and truer than before.
